How were they first known about? It seems like it would be hard to produce them by accident. The forums don't seem have anything on them for at least three years after they were apparently released.

us-east-1 (I was reminded of it by all the outages today).

B2B SaaS (business-to-business software as a service).

The (rumoured?) breed ratio mechanism is inelegant and annoys me. It should be replaced with a complex and realistic genetics simulation, and detailed (biome-or-smaller granularity) environmental models tracking weather, various prey species and plant populations, mana availability by type and of course soil nutrient density.

This is a spinoff of my ongoing lineage project. I am combining all of my (reasonably long) messy lineages into one. I am nearing completion.

In principle, all my dragons are to be named except ones with cool codes. In practice, I am about 900 cool names short.

You probably do not have exactly the same requirements as other people with spreadsheets. I think you ought to work out what you specifically need to track and then store that. Maybe use Grist or Notion if you want to be fancy.

Those CPU package temperatures (112 degrees max?!) are entirely too high.

I didn't win, but did really quickly get entry to the next raffle. Is it just me or are the entry requirements really easy half the time?

Well, I didn't win, again, but at least the entry requirements were bizarrely easy so I got them without doing anything.

Entirely unsurprisingly, I have again not won anything. At least the entry criterion for this month is pretty easy for me since I've got 11 wyrm hatchlings right now.

It seems like it's almost entirely the "current" eggs now, weird. Perhaps it's some strange diurnal variation thing, or the release of each being staggered a bit for some reason, or just some bizarre bug. I'm inclined to think it's a bug, since the "current" egg isn't visible in the first post there.

I also got one of the "mana flows like a current" ones from the cave. Not quite sure what's going on there. Anyway, more xenowyrms is something I've wanted for a while, and... now we apparently have more xenowyrms, so this is a very cool release. I had to drop a few eggs I was keeping, but I got all six variants now, so yay.

My stuff mostly runs Arch Linux.

Unsurprisingly, I haven't gotten lucky in this raffle either.

It's not exactly luck, but I haven't really been doing groups up to now and now I have to sort through a thousand dragons to find specific ones.

I decided finally to sort my scroll by breed and it turns out I have three chickens somehow.

This is something I've been sort of asking for for a while and I'm glad it is happening. Kind of annoying that we don't actually get to see how many prizes have been given out, though... it might not actually be many more.

Finally gotten round to catching some. They seem very cool.

I got a cactus. It now sits abandoned on my windowsill, since apparently I don't even need to water it very often. Yay?

I don't see how it would be unfair, since they would still have had to put in the work for platinum.

I probably ought to exercise more, but having never found any exercise I actually liked doing I only get exercise from mandatory PE at school.

If you implement the reparations thing, who is actually going to pay?

I have often, but most of my programming experience is in random webapps and other simple stuff, and as it turns out game development is really hard.

I think I was possibly viewbombed once, but it doesn't happen to me as frequently as it seems to to some other players.
